Walking with a Purpose

Today I signed Sara and I up to do the 3rd Annual Denver NF Walk! Since this is only the 3rd year Denver has had one, its still a relatively unknown event except in the NF community. Sara and I have walked both previous years, so I'm proud to say we've walked in every NF Walk Denver has had.

This year I decided to be a little more involved and started a team! The team is called Sara's Striders, and we are walking in honor of Sara of course. But even though she is our "honorary" member, she is not the only one we walk for. We will be walking for all those who are effected by NF; it doesn't matter if its the person actually carrying the disease or their family and friends who support them. All of us are on the same journey, but with different stops along the way!

I have put a link to our team website at the top of the column on the right! Please support us however you can. If that means joining the team to walk and help raise money, great! If you can donate money, great! And if all you can do is link this information and event to your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or some other means to help spread the word even further, then that's great too! Spreading the word to as many people as possible is the first step, the rest will follow.

Thank you to all of you that are helping Sara and I reach our fund raising goal! We couldn't do it without you!

I am blessed to have my daughter, Sara, in my life. And although she brings more challenges then most children because of her NF, I think it makes myself and the people around us appreciate life even more. We are blessed to have amazing family and friends to share this adventure with, and to count on when times are rough! Being a single mom isn't always easy, but being her mother is the best thing that ever happened to me!
